Following his release of CHROMAKOPIA, rapper Tyler, The Creator went on his seventh headlining concert tour (CHROMAKOPIA: The World Tour), beginning in St. Paul, Minnesota's Xcel Energy Center on February 4, 2025, and is set to conclude in the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines, on September 21, 2025. Fellow rapper Lil Yachty and hip-hop duo Paris Texas are supporting him.

Tyler, The Creator recently performed in Miami's iconic Kaseya Center on Monday, March 24, 2025. I was lucky enough to go this time, as I started listening to his music beginning with IGOR (2019) around the last time he came to Miami on tour, in 2022.

While I did not listen to CHROMAKOPIA as much as his other previous albums, I still enjoyed his performances.

I did not get to see Paris Texas' set as my friends and I were getting tour merchandise, and I only saw the end of Lil Yachty's set, which, in my opinion, was good. Lil Yachty played songs like "NBA Youngboat", "A Cold Sunday", "Flex Up", and "Poland", etc. (not in that order). Tyler, The Creator began performing a bit after 9:30 PM, beginning with the opening track to CHROMAKOPIA, "St. Chroma". He followed this with other songs from the album, like "Rah Tah Tah", "Noid", and "Sticky".

Tyler, The Creator then walked to another stage meant to look like a house, where he pulled out a vinyl for IGOR from a box of other vinyls of past albums. He performed songs from IGOR, starting with "IGOR'S THEME". Later, backtracking to Goblin (2011), then Wolf (2013), next CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST (2021) [and its deluxe version: CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale {2023}], and Flower Boy (2017); even though he performed some of the songs from these different albums out of order.

Overall, I thought Tyler, The Creator's performance was outstanding. However, because I enjoyed his earlier albums, Wolf, Cherry Bomb, and CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST (The Estate Sale), I was more excited to hear the songs from those albums instead of his newer songs from CHROMAKOPIA.

Another criticism is that Tyler, The Creator did not play any of his songs from Cherry Bomb, which is my favorite album from him, so I was a little bit let down because of this. It kind of makes some sense as to why he did this, even if the album was a part of the original predictions of the setlist (with the songs "DEATHCAMP", "2SEATER", and "SMUCKERS").

I am still very grateful that I was able to go to the concert, especially because I missed the last one, and to my and his fans' knowledge, he may not come back to Miami for a few years.
